Words for the Journey

Discover a sanctuary of perspectives, tools, and shared experiences written for people living with grief.

I refuse to say goodbye.

I can't. I won't.

I'm afraid of the finality of that word.

I'd rather hold on to the thought

   that I'd see you again.

It might not be today,

   or tomorrow,

   but one day.

This thought puts a smile on my face.

This gives me hope for the future.

This helps me to stay strong,

   and not think about giving up.

Having you beside me again one day,

   that's all I want,

   that's the only thing that will make me happy again.

So... No goodbyes. Never!
